The existing content applied primarily to the academic robe; however, this is covered in greater depth in the separate article on academic clothing. I have also included some other usages. The portion I removed is included below.

Robe is a dress sometimes taken on by faculty on important academic events like graduation or inauguration. The colour, the length of the hood and the form of the arms give indications of the university of origin and the academic rank. Three stripes on the arm are allowed to wear only by faculty with a Ph.D. (doctor title).
Robes are also used in role-playing games by wizards and other magical characters.
[edit] Robes worn at home
In the article, it says "a garment made of towel like material" but the material (at least in America, where I live) is called terry or terrycloth. I'm changing this sentence to include terry. -Liz July 1, 2006
[edit] DRESSING GOWN
Can you guys please make a separate page for Dressing Gown... its rather different to a robe... has different purposes... even looks different... although similar...
- It's different in the UK; "dressing gown" isn't used in the US except in historical contexts - they are all called "robes"; the terry cloth version is usually called a "bathrobe".
- But a separate page for Dressing gown probably makes sense. - PKM 16:47, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
